Linda Lucas is your challenge hostess this week!
One thing I am sure of - our minds are always full...of one thing or another - we would all have a different answer if I asked you 'what was on your mind today?' Our answer would depend on those things we fill our mind with, our hope and dreams, those things that both consume our minds and feed the 'inner man'.
In this day and age, it is becoming increasing harder to think only on the above things, we are constantly bombarded by the negative influences that confront us in everyday life through the many forms of media that is at our fingertips today. We may try to justify the things that go through our minds that are anything but true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report; virtuous, and praiseworthy - I believe Paul himself would have a battle on his hands.....
In this verse the Greek word for 'think' means 'to keep on thinking.' It is not enough to think about these things once and move onto the next thing - our minds need to be continually filled, they should be part of our everyday spiritual diet . The more we think of these things, the sooner it becomes a way of life for us and we in turn LIVE what we believe - becoming more like Christ to those who are searching for Him.

Wow, ladies your cards are so beautiful. Thank you Linda for sharing such a beautiful message. I am actually studying on this now with a Bible study from Elizabeth George.
Have a great day ladies.
Thank you Linda for sharing this Scripture and your thoughts on it. I like what you said about making it part of our daily spiritual diet. Great advice!! A great thing to teach our children, especially as they go through those rough teens years. Lovely inspiration girls!! I loved reading what your styles are *Ü* Have a wonderful week all.

Thank you for this wonderful challenge! I really appreciated the nudge to reflect on who I am versus who God needs me to be. And of course, your creations are all stunning. Thank you for the inspiration, in more ways than one! :-)
lovely DT creations!
Thanks for another fun challenge!
Thanks so much for a fabulous challenge this week--it was a little challenging, and I wasn't going to link up my card because I felt it wasn't good enough and didn't really reflect my style. But it DOES. I guess I have self worth issues--thanks for getting me out of my comfort zone! ALL the DT creations are absolutely stunning, too! Blessed stamping!!! :)
